Northumbria Disaster and Development Society 2nd Annual Conference(30 November; Online)

Early Career Researchers (ECR) are a unique group of researchers in academia, as they are aconstant stream of people that have innovative ideas and research; which can support or challenge
existing ways of thinking. However, the majority of ECR leave academia within three years of theirresearch programme. Quite often, many of these ideas and research leave as well, without theexposure they deserve. Therefore, this conference organized by the Disaster and Development
Society of Northumbria University has a dual purpose. Firstly, to promote new ideas and research
by ECR. Secondly, it provides ECRs a platform to develop their presentation skills and potential to build new networks
with other ECR’s outside their institution. Abstracts are welcome until 17 November 2021 from graduate students,
postdoctoral scholars, and those who have earned their degrees within the last 3 years.

Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellowship – Research Social Scientists for Volcano Science CenterThe U.S. Geological Survey is advertising for a research social scientist PhD candidate or early career researcher (5 yearsor less post PhD) for the Volcano Science program. The prospective Mendenhall fellow will develop a 2-year research
proposal in their area of interest and expertise that advances USGS priorities in the VHP, NHMA, and Risk Plan. The goalof this Mendenhall opportunity is to recruit a talented and creative social scientist whose “home base” will be the VHP
but will seek collaborations with other USGS programs/centers. This opportunity is designed for candidates possessing
strong qualitative research skills and demonstrated expertise in social science or related fields. It is highly recommended
to contact research advisors early, as they can help craft a research proposal with the applicant to tailor it toapplicant's interests. We invite creative proposals that will enhance USGS’s ability to meet its obligations to “[E]nhancepublic safety and minimize social and economic disruption from eruptions…”
for all. Therefore, proposals must clearly articulate a plan for meaningful, sincere,and equitable service to groups that have been made vulnerable through practices
such as historically discriminatory policies and geographic isolation, for example
Sovereign Tribal Nations, small and remote population centers, lower income
urban area residents, and BIPOC communities.
